About Me


"honest, poignant and insightful" Jo Ledingham- The Vancouver Courier
“proof that live theatre lacks no courage when tackling tough issues.” Peter Birnie, The Vancouver Sun
“S. Siobhan McCarthy is one mean scriptwriter”, The Georgia Straight
“Highly intelligent, sexy, titillating and challenging!” Michael Green, One Yellow Rabbit -High Performance Rodeo.
"Siobhan McCarthy is one of Canada’s most accomplished “cross-over” artists" (Canadian Theatre Review, 2005)
“Director McCarthy tries out a variety of stylistic approaches, and the least naturalistic are some of the most effective; the video component also shows her gift for arresting images.” Kathleen Oliver, The Georgia Straight.
"a stellar one woman performance by Siobhan McCarthy…it seems evident that the writer and actor are either, (a) highly talented or (b) hold this subject matter close to their heart and within their realm of experience. I’d say both.”—Alyssa Coulson, Monday Magazine, Victoria in reference to Spiraling Within
What others (press) have said about me....
“one woman mind odyssey…compelling… inspirational…McCarthy breezes through her character’s journey with passion and poignancy.” Michael Reid, The Times Colonist, Victoria in reference to Spiraling Within
“Giving a Piece of Her Mind- Spiraling is a powerful look at mental health; As far as I’m concerned, it doesn’t get much scarier-or braver- than this…For one hour, I was right there with her.” Colin Thomas, The Georgia Straight, Vancouver

My Interests

writing, creating, clowning, performing, acting, pontificating, researching, analyizing, being an alchemist- all around creative mischevious soul

I'd like to meet:

artists, free- thinkers, interesting people who challenge me and the staus quo

"For attractive lips, speak words of kindness. For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people. For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry. For beautiful hair, let a child run his/her fingers through it once a day. For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone. People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone. Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms. As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands; one for helping yourself, and the other for helping others." - Audrey Hepburn

"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars." --Jack Kerouac"
